Hi George,

I'm an investor in NOVA as well as a Realtor.  Happy to connect with you and start building a relationship.  Looking forward to it.

Thanks,
Dennis

I hang my license at Samson Properties. They are focused in VA but are licensed in DC/MD.

They pay a lot of overhead that larger firms don't.  Low fees.  100% commission.

Feel free to PM me with any questions.  Tell them I referred you if you decide to hang your license there!

@Brian Huber  - Hi, I'm a local Realtor and would be interested in working with you.  Let's connect.

@Hank Parater  - another strategy might be acting as a buyer's agent if you know who you will ultimately assign the contract to.  Negotiate from a buyer's agent standpoint and have your buyer pay commission, or better yet, have the seller pay your commission.

When talking with a potential seller (listing), you are not representing them. Once you have secured the listing, I can see where the conflict arises.  I imagine if you are taking a listing from a distressed seller, you can counsel them on a realistic price to expect form an investors buyer and price accordingly.  In this situation, your wholesale fee is your sales commission.

If, after speaking with the potential seller, a cash offer makes more sense for them I don't see a conflict.  You are acting as a principal for yourself at that point.
